Hey. I’m the guy quoted.

RAW is ultimately about sensor readings. As a developer, you just want to get things from there into a linear, known color space (XYZ in the DNG spec). So from that perspective, interoperability isn’t the issue.

How you process that data is another matter. Handling a traditional bayer pattern vs a quad-bayer vs Fujifilm’s x-trans pattern obviously requires different algorithms, but that’s all moot given DNG is just a container.
